Method and system for applying particulate solids on a substrate
The present invention relates to a method for spraying particulate solids onto a substrate, comprising the steps of: coating the substrate with a wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer, building up a gas pressure in a line, generating a pressure differential in the line, swirling and carrying along particulate solids in the line, ejecting swirled, particulate solids from the line onto the surface of the wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer of the substrate. The invention also relates to a substrate, in particular a wood-based panel or decorative paper, at least partially coated with a particulate solid, characterized in that the particulate solid is applied to the substrate with an accuracy of up to ±0.8 g/m 2 , preferably of up to ±0.5 g/m 2 , particularly preferably of up to ±0.3 g/m 2 , preferably of up to 0.1 g/m 2 .
1. A method for spraying particulate solids onto a substrate, which is covered by a wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer, comprising the steps of:
coating the substrate ( 18 ) with a wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer,
building up gas pressure in a line ( 4 ),
generating a pressure change in the line ( 4 ),
swirling and carrying along particulate solids (K) having a specific weight of more than 2 g/cm3 in the line ( 4 ),
ejecting swirled, particulate solids (K) from the line ( 4 ) into the wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer ( 20 ) of the substrate ( 18 ), wherein the particulate solid (K) is applied to the substrate ( 18 ) with an accuracy of up to ±0.5 g/m 2 .
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer is dried or cured after inserting the particulate solids.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the insertion of the particulate solids and drying or curing, if any, of the synthetic resin layer, a further synthetic resin layer is applied.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ejection of swirled, particulate solids (K) from the line ( 4 ) is adjustable by a spraying nozzle ( 10 ).
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the swirled, particulate solids (K) are applied onto the substrate ( 18 ) by means of a spraying nozzle ( 10 ), which is moved in parallel and/or vertical to the surface of the substrate ( 18 ) during spraying.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the particulate solid (K) is applied to the substrate ( 18 ) in an amount of up to 100 g/m 2 .
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the particulate solid (K) is applied to the substrate ( 18 ) with an accuracy of up to ±0.1 g/m 2 .
8. A method for spraying particulate solids onto a substrate which is covered by a wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer, comprising the steps of:
building up gas pressure in a line ( 4 ) communicated with a source of particulate solids (K),
generating a pressure change in the line ( 4 ) so as to draw the particulate solids (K) into an inlet of the line ( 4 ) and carry the particulate solids (K) in a swirling flow through the line ( 4 ), wherein the particulate solids (K) have a specific weight of more than 2 g/cm 3 , and
ejecting the particulate solids (K) from an outlet of the line ( 4 ) onto the wet and/or adhesive synthetic resin layer ( 20 ) of the substrate ( 18 ).
